Dear Friends and Students
I am back to my Blogs after a long vacation.
To Nihon University students of Economics: Remember the last class is on Thursday and one Sub class for Friday.
Test will be listening 60 minutes test from Eiken 2nd grade.
To Meiji students: we will continue the units but there should be a presentation on "New Year's  Day".
To Aoyama students: remember 10th Friday will be the major day for 24th will be an extra day.

Thought of the day:
